How should I partition my dedicated for a VPS?

    I have a new dedicated I want to split into 3 VPS's.

    How should I partition the disk? Should I just leave the / disk at full size and let HyperVM/openVZ do the logical partitioning for me?

    Thanks

    HyperVM will create each vps as a file, then mount it. You dont need special partitions for vps

    Also be sure to know what disk space you are allocating for each VPS too.
